That only made the show worse. They took good characters and concepts from the EU and completely butchered them, it would have been better if they didn't touch the EU at all.

Why bring back beloved things just to rape them? They were better off forgotten. In the end, these "re-canonizations" only came off as Filoni being desperate for ideas and showing his lack of creativity and budget. And in the end it amounts to jack. They bring Thrawn back for a mediocre role that just retconned the most popular SW novel trilogy. They even brought back Rukh just to kill him. And then they get rid of Thrawn just to set up the negress admiral for Aftermath so she would have no rivals.

Thrawn was written like crap. It's a Disney show, the "bad guy" never win, just for that reason they shouldn't have brought Thrawn into that shit show.

And they go and do the same to Tarkin and Vader, turning into more fodder for Ezra and his snowflake crew.

And promptly butchered the hell out of it. Ontop of all the other shit like handheld blasters blowing up a gravity well generator, Thrawn not being allowed to win, and Filoni bringing in time travel to save his orange mary sue. Not to mention his wolf fetish.
How anyone can praise that show is beyond me.

The wolf fetish went really overboard in the final season. And reincarnating Kanan as a wolf was just idkwtf. And the final shot of the series is a cartoonish mural depicting the characters all cartoony like by surrounded by photo realistic scaly wolves that have no reason being there and look completely retarded compared to the rest of the show's aesthetic. Only thing missing was turning the space whales into space wolves.

I can't let him go anon, seriously! Anything which he is in automatically become good to me. Hell, if jidsney put him in Ep IX then i would watch it and probably like it. And there are a bunch of people like me. Thrawn are our last connection to the past, the only reason why we still arround.

With the Rise of Skywalker Visual dictionary, we get to see a detailed look at the Knights of Ren. I'm guessing they'll have different parts unique to each individual one because I don't see this outfit working as a uniform for all of them. Feels more like it should belong in some kind of Mad Max kind of world instead of Star Wars.

Pictures of them have been online for months. Each of them has a shitty unique look and wield different weapons, including guns and flamethrowers which makes them look like Mad Max rejects. Their names have also been revealed and most of them are japanese, like
<Kato, Kane, Zara, Mika, Shiro, and Haru
None of them even use lightsabers.

they all have ronin looks to them so i'm not surprised they have jap names
also i bet at least one of them will be female
not to mention that being the knights of ren, they all have ren as their surnames. so kato ren, kane ren, zara ren, mika ren, shiro ren and haru ren. better question is who or what the fuck is ren?
also i find it quite stupid rey went back to her jakku outfit with slight modifications. at least the robes she wore after leaving ahch-to had a jedi feel to them

They did it because they wanted to re-use the unused from TFA of Rey hugging Leia, which could only be done with her shitty TFA outfit. Honestly why would Leia even hug this random thot? She doesn't give a shit about Chewie, Han or anyone but she'll show endless affection for Rey, so much so that she even sent her to talk to Luke instead of going herself and sending a special squad.
>also i bet at least one of them will be female
Spoilers suggest 2 or 3 will be girls.

Am I the only one that sees this?
The only reason lightsabors and vibroblads are practical is because of the force and close quarter incounters, like on a ship or urban combat. This thing has no purpouse exept to cater tword Hunger Games fans. Why waist time pulling a string when you could just pull a trigger for the same effect with the added benifit of not leaving cover when firing?

It took you all this time to find out that Kathleen wanted the Twilight/HungerGames audience?

To be serious if you really think a recolor is new and different you are a mindless consumer not a human therefore before abrams get it to it I'm going to use a red permanent marker on an OT Stormtrooper and call it a Darth Trooper™.
